"What? Lord, I want all your army to become monks?"

When Wu Yong heard that Li Weiguo wanted all the troops to be ordained as monks, his head suddenly became swollen and he was inflexible for a moment.

"No!" Li Weiguo waved his hand and explained with a smile: "I mean to let the officers and soldiers pretend to be monks, so that they can shave off their braids, which will not affect the beauty of the military, but also prevent the hair from growing too long and causing disease, killing two birds with one stone."

Wu Yong then understood Li Weiguo's painstaking efforts, but he hesitated: "Sir, although this can cut the soldiers' braids, have you ever thought about it? Their bodies and hair are all born to the common people and may not understand the hard work of the adults. Once they shave their hair, they will be lying to be monks, but outsiders will not think so. They will think that the adults' army is monks, and they should abide by the rules of monks and cut off the world. But the soldiers will only think that they are fake monks. They drink and eat meat and look for women. Once they are used by those who are interested, there will be a big mess. Have these adults ever thought about it?"

Indeed, even if one understands that being a monk is fake, outsiders will not think so. Once one is discovered by oneself, eating meat and playing with women, it will inevitably lead to misunderstandings. If one is used to make a big fuss by someone who is interested, it will not only hurt the morale of the Li family army, but even the court will think that deceiving the emperor and punishing Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo understood Wu Yong's meaning and agreed with it very much.

However, there are policies and countermeasures from above. Li Weiguo's mind has always changed quickly. He quickly suggested: "If you can't be a monk, how about being a lay disciple? Lesson disciples should not strictly abide by the rules and regulations of monks, right?"

Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "This is a good idea! Lesbian disciples can not abide by most of the rules and regulations. As long as they do not do evil and harm the people, they will not violate the master's sect. However, few lay disciples have bald heads. After all, they still have to start a family, and their parents are generally not allowed to shave their heads."

Li Weiguodao: "I just want to ask, if a lay disciple can shave his head?"

Wu Yong thought for a while and nodded, "The Qing Dynasty law neither stipulates that Buddhist lay disciples can be ordained, nor does it stipulate that they are not allowed to be ordained."

Li Weiguo's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "I didn't say that I could be slaughtered, nor did I say that I could not be slaughtered. That is, there are loopholes in the law?"

Legal loopholes?

Wu Yong was a little surprised and immediately understood and praised: "What lord said is extremely true! You can indeed make a fuss about it!"

After pausing, Wu Yong reiterated his old words and asked again: "Although you have this excuse that you can hide from the court, your body and hair are the ones you receive from your parents. How can you persuade the soldiers to shave their heads?"

Li Weiguo had a solution and immediately smiled and said, "Don't the soldiers shave their heads every month now? Didn't they expect that their parents would accept their hair and skin? Since shaving half a bald head is shaved, then shaving the whole bald head is shaved. Is there any difference?"

Wu Yong was immediately impressed and said repeatedly: "Sir, I am really eloquent!"

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "I'm just saying a fact!"

Since the theoretical foundation of the shaving head action has been laid, we must put it into practical actions next.

Li Weiguo did what he said and immediately ordered the soldiers to beat the assembly call. Soon all the four thousand new troops were assembled.

There was a murderous atmosphere on the school ground.

Li Weiguo was very satisfied with this. He had only been training for a month and had surpassed the Qing army's green camp soldiers in terms of military momentum. It was already quite good to have such an effect.

To make the soldiers willingly shave their heads, this requires a superb speaking art.

It just so happened that our Lord Li Weiguo and Lord Li had land taxes in this regard.

He first made an inducement speech, guiding the soldiers to follow his ideas, and first talked to the soldiers about how to deal with head injuries on the battlefield. When a soldier replied to find a piece of cloth to wrap the wound, Li Weiguo told him that it was wrong, because there were too many dirty things in his hair, which was easy to get infected and inflamed, causing life worries. The soldiers did not understand infection and inflamed, and looked at each other for a moment.

At this time, naturally, Li Weiguo arranged the "child care" in advance and told them with facts.

"After Lord Li said this, I remembered something. In the past, someone from our village went to join the army, but he was injured on the back of his head. He didn't take it seriously. He just wrapped a piece of cloth on the wound, but the man died soon. After hearing what the man said this, I realized that it turned out that the man's hair was too dirty and caused the infection to death."

"That's right, think about it. If we have injuries on our arms, we just need to wash the surroundings of our arms and wrap a clean cloth. The wound will heal in a few days. But the wound on the head will be difficult. Even if a small hole is broken, it will not heal for ten or half a month. It turns out that it is because there is still hair on the wound."

When the soldiers saw someone saying this, they immediately believed most of them. After all, many of them had seen similar situations, so some soldiers immediately asked: "Sir, what do you think we should do? If we have a head injury, do we have to wait to die?"

It is related to one's own life, so naturally one has to ask clearly.

This is exactly the result that Li Weiguo wanted, so he said, "You are my soldiers, my brothers, so I will naturally not watch you get hurt."

Li Weiguo paused and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. Because hair grows on it, it is because it is long and dirty inside, and lice are prone to growth. The lice's feces and urine are pulled on the wound. You can guess without thinking, it will definitely inflame the wound, tetanus enters the body, and your life will be lost."

Faced with these soldiers who have no culture, Li Weiguo could not tell them what bacterial infection wounds or something like that. That was completely playing the piano to a cow. He could only describe it in the simplest, most direct, and most close to life words, changing bacterial infection to lice scabbing and urinating on the wounds, which would make the soldiers believe and understand.

In the old society, the sanitation conditions were poor, and lice would grow if they were not careful. Especially in the hair, the nests of lice were simply there. How to prevent them became a concern for soldiers.

"Sir, what should we do? I have lice in my hair after being young, and I can't clean it up for more than 20 years!"

A honest soldier said, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the soldiers around him.

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Actually, the solution is very simple. Think about why the arms and head injuries are healed quickly, and the head is slow, or even death?"

"I know this, I don't have hair on my arms!"

One soldier replied quickly, and the other soldiers nodded and drank.

Li Weiguo took the opportunity to say, "That's right! The difference lies in this hair! Think about it, wouldn't it be enough if there was no such hair?"

"Yes, isn't it enough to have no hair?"

"How can I not have hair? Do I need to shave my hair?"

"What can I do if my parents are shaved?"

"Become a monk!"

"Go to you, I'm the only one. My mother is still waiting for me to marry a wife, have children and pass on the family line!"

The soldiers were suddenly in an uproar, some were confused, some were laughing, and every word I said, they immediately started to argue.

"quiet!"

Li Weiguo shouted loudly, calming the audience down and continued: "In fact, this county has a way of doing the best of both worlds. If everyone wants, just follow my method."

"Sir, just say it, we believe in you!"

"That's right! The lord treats us as kind as a mountain, and we are willing to listen to it!"

...

Several soldiers took the lead, while other soldiers were drinking.

Wu Yong, who was standing in the audience, couldn't help but nodded when he saw all this, thinking that the morale of the army was available and that the king's career was expected. He glanced at Li Weiguo on the stage and was more confident in him. If he followed him to do something big, he would not have lived a life in vain.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong suddenly felt very proud.

Li Weiguo on the stage did not notice Wu Yong's changes. At this moment, he was following the advice of the entire army to join Buddhist lay disciples. In this way, if the head is shaved, the parents will not object, let alone worry about the major events of life that will pass on the family line.

Li Weiguo used the method of inducement to guide the soldiers step by step, just like boiling a frog in warm water, which would not arouse the soldiers' resistance.

In this way, the soldiers chose to shave their heads for their lives, although they were a little reluctant (even the great young people in the 21st century would not shave their heads easily), but fortunately, joining the ranks of Buddhist lay disciples has no impact on their lives, so they accused of shave their heads.

Of course, Li Weiguo had a clever method. After seeing that the soldiers agreed to shave their heads, he immediately promised: "This county is ready to make everyone a lay disciple of Longhua Temple, and ask the abbot of Longhua Temple to consecrate everyone. After all, everyone is a soldier and goes to the battlefield in the future. With the consecration of the master of Longhua Temple and the blessing of the magic power, the chances of survival will be much greater. In addition, this county will also invite the monks from Longhua Temple to teach everyone the authentic Southern Shaolin martial arts, so that everyone will have another chance to save their lives."

This sweet date is so cool!

Especially in this era, people were very superstitious. When the soldiers heard Li Weiguo ask the abbot of Longhua Temple to consecrate them, they were very happy. In addition, being able to learn the martial arts of Nan Shaolin means that there is another opportunity to save their lives on the battlefield. For a moment, the crowd was excited and cheered enthusiastically.

Get it done!

Li Weiguo then looked at Wu Yong in the audience, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
